VT Schedule

[VolDude]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Ironlung</div><div class="ubbcode-body">UAB and Northern Illinois are at least decent competitive 1A teams that put players into the draft though. Compared to most years this is a super weak schedule for UT but would be one of VT's toughest. So please, don't turn this into some kind of pissing contest. I don't know why the original poster brought this stupid [censored] up, but I'm not slinging [censored]. At the very least I was complementing VT on adding someone like Nebraska. I didn't say that VT needed to add world beaters. UTEP, OHIO, and the others I mentioned aren't world beaters, they aren't NAIA competition either. </div></div>

Why did I bring this up? I cant take the Red Sox, Kyle Busch, Yankee Stadium, or Brett Favre any more. This is not Tenn's toughest schedule, but you're right it would be one of VT's toughest. Football is definitely in the air. High schools start practice 2 weeks from Tues on the 29th I think.

That's not that horrible, other than the opener. They've got UF and A&M, that's not bad. That earns you one cupcake, preferably not that one though. At least it's not Tennessee Martin like one SEC team [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif[/img] .

Do like Florida and A&M being there,and really UCF is not bad,but the timing with that opener is bad. Those fellers should have been the Homecoming biotch.

It's not a bad opener for to get the new staff members acclimated.

The sad thing is that many teams are using the 12th game to schedule a weak home game to boost income. You won't get any good teams to do you a 2 for 1 or a 1 for none. You may get a game ala VT-USC on a neutral field with a big payday for both. VT used their 12th game for what seems like a 50 year series with ECU.

Normally I would say that,but this is a game that is a change of venue,and should be an ESPN/ABC type game (had they scheduled ANYBODY)

[burton2019]

I believe the opener may be to boost some confidence before two big games. Other than that I like the schedule.

[Unchained]

If they needed to do that,they could have landed Notre Dame :/.
A-would have gotten a win
B-big name opponent
C-you know dang well NBC would have covered it

FSU's schedule.
